He has not yet entered a plea and is detained pending trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teixeira joined the Air National Guard in 2019 and worked as an IT specialist on the networks used to disseminate military intelligence products. He held the rank of airman first class \u2014 the third-lowest enlisted rank \u2014 at the time of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/04\/13\/fbi-arrests-air-national-guardsman-in-connection-with-dod-intel-leak\/\" target=\"_blank\">arrest on April 13<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force launched its own internal investigation earlier this month in parallel with the broader prosecution led by the Justice Department. The service\u2019s probe is looking into potential failures to comply with the policy, procedures and standards intended to keep classified information safe within the 102nd Intelligence Wing, as well as breakdowns in the parts of the security clearance process that belong to the Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/04\/13\/deputy-defense-secretary-to-troops-dont-share-classified-information\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/classified.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Deputy defense secretary to troops: Don\u2019t share classified information<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">A memo reminding the force of their classified information responsibilities was sent out Wednesday by Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On April 18, the top civilian and uniformed leaders in the Air Force and Space Force directed all units to review their own internal security within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe focus of the standdown will be to reassess our security posture and procedures, validate the need to know for each person\u2019s access, and emphasize to all airmen and guardians the responsibility we are entrusted with to safeguard this information and to enforce and improve our security requirements,\u201d the service said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/04\/18\/air-force-to-review-base-after-classified-documents-leak\/\" target=\"_blank\">reassigned the intelligence support mission<\/a> of Teixeira\u2019s unit within the 102nd Intelligence Wing to other organizations while the IG investigation is underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The commanders are temporarily suspended, pending the outcome of an Air Force inspector general probe into military intelligence leaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":71682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":12,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[100,23,93,12,25],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3404],"class_list":["post-36193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"SE6PO3IW3BHI3BGWHJZUDEU3BY","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/04\/27\/two-commanders-suspended-at-base-where-alleged-pentagon-leaker-worked\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
